Here is my list...

1 - A better way to cut and paste between different windows. 
The currunt Mark, Cut and Paste strategy is just to clumsy. 
I'd like something like under X Windows.

2 - I'd like faster boot from diskette. Only one disk (insted of two 
would be fine).
 
3 - Utilities to kill processes.

4 - Multiple input queues. 

5 - Allow precise allignement of icons on the Desktop. 
 Maybe from the Destop settings Notebook like exDesk does.
     
6 - Allow more types of bitmaps to be displayed as background (eg. 
GIF, JPEG). 

7 - Scrollback buffers in shells windows. As it is now implemeted it's 
practicly useless. The buffer is just to small.

8 - Like someone already said... either give us some WPS aware apllets
or leave them out. The applets that now come with OS/2 just don't do
it justice.

9 - Ability to load new drivers without having to reboot. To many times
I've booted and fergot to turn on my SCSI CDROM.    


I know most of these can be done with freeware and shareware out there
but it would be nice to see them in the OS.
